Korean Folk Games

 

Korea has twelve traditional holidays and all those holidays are by The Lunar Calendar.

'Seol ' is the Lunar New Year and  'Chu Suck'  is Korean Thanksgiving . These two holidays are the most  famous and popular

for the Korean people. In these holidays, Korean people like to enjoy  games. There are  many games, but I  would like to

introduce the most popular games below.
